Doubling Down on Failure
The Harvard economist Edward Glaesary makes a key point about the recent calls for increased regulation over the financial sector: if the government fails spectatularly at regulating the first time around (the financial crisis), why would you then want to increase the government's involvement in regulation? It would be better to implement regulations that work the first time around, not more regulations.

People have to thoroughly understand the nature of the first failure -- the "great society" underpinnings of the first round of regulations.
Then they can reject social planning through government "bright ideas" and stick to what really works, which is letting people make rational decisions based on likely (possibly negative) outcomes.
